A suspected drunk driver cut a Laredo police officer with a knife following a recent car crash in central Laredo, LPD said.

Marc Cerda, 21, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault against a public servant with a knife and driving while intoxicated. He was released on bond Sept. 13.

Two days earlier, officers responded to a report of a vehicle crash with injuries in the 6500 block of Springfield Avenue. A blue Subaru had collided into a cinder block fence, police said.

Police identified the driver as Cerda, who was allegedly intoxicated. LPD said he yelled at officers and EMS crews to leave him alone. Then, police said they noticed Cerda had a knife in his hand.

Officers told Cerda to drop the knife, but he refused, according to police. During a struggle, Cerda allegedly swung his arm in a slashing motion and cut an officer in the hand, causing a minor injury, before he was detained.
